Be it known thatI, SAMUEL I. SUTTON, of Dublin, in the county of Pulaskiand State of Virginia,v have invented certain new and usefulImprovements inSash-Holders; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which willenable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and useythe same, reference being had to the accompanying draw.- ings, whichform a part of this specification.`

Figure l is a front view. Fig.'2.is a verti- 3 is a Corresponding partsin the several figures are denoted by like letters of reference. y

This invention relatesto sash-holders; and it consists incrtainimprovements in the construction of the saine which will behereinafter fully described, aud particularly pointed outl in the claim.

In the. annexed drawings, A represents the frame or casing, and B B thesashes, of an Ordinary Window.

My improved holder consists of a bail or bracket, C, in which aneccentric disk, D, pro- 'vided with a suitable handle, E, is jOu'rnaledupon a screw or someother suitable pivot, F. The handle E and outer edgeof the eccentric are provided with a transverse slot, G,formin g acontinuation `of an annular groove, H, extending around the periphery ofsaid disk, and a set-screw, I, inserted through a threaded perforationin the Outer. edge of the eccentric, bears toward the bottom of saidannular groove.

J is a narrow strap, of rubber, rubber cloth, or other suitablematerial, which passes through slot G and around disk D, in the grooveof which it is tted in such a manner as to project slightly beyond theperiphery of 4o said disk, the endsof strip J'being secured by theset-screw I.

In Operation the eccentric disk D does not interfere with the raising ofthe sash; but Y' The band J, which is for the purpose of pre-A ventingthe sash from slipping, may, when worn out, be easily replaced byremoving or loosening thescrew I. Y

I am aware that elastic bands, in combination with eccentric cams ordisks, are not new in sashfholders. Such, therefore, I .do not broadlyclaim; but,

Having thus descrlbed my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States- Y vAs an improvement insash-holders, the `eccentric disk D, having handle E, slot G, annulargroove H, set-screw I, and friction-strap J, in combination with thebail or bracket C,

. having pivot F, the Whole arranged and oper- .ating substantially asand for the purposehereiu shown and specied.'

In testimony that I claim the foregoing' as y Amy ownI have heretoaffixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
